Freshbooks integration with Mailchimp

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

We’re excited to announce that MailChimp now integrates with Freshbooks, to make staying in touch with all your customers painless. Basically, we’ve made it super easy to import your customers from your Freshbooks account into MailChimp. Then, you can send them email newsletters, event invitations, and autoresponders.

We’ll clean unsubscribes and bounces on MailChimp, and we’ll give you awesome reports to track your performance.

Freshbooks takes care of your billing, and MailChimp takes care of email marketing. Throw in a little Batchbook CRM, and you’ve got some kind of crazy-powerful “small business web” or something.

Here’s how it works…

Joomla plugin for MailChimp

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

joomla-logo1 Brent at 3by400 has developed an updated MailChimp/Joomla module for Joomla 1.5 (the current version). You can download it from the MailChimp Plugins page.

Thanks, Brent! Some MailChimp swag is on its way.

BTW, if you’re using a CMS in conjunction with MailChimp, be sure to check out this tutorial on importing campaigns via URL. You can setup your CMS to publish news on your site, then tell MailChimp to create email newsletter versions. You can even use MailChimp tags to hide certain email-specific code (like unsub links, email CSS, etc) from the browser, but make it display in email apps.

It basically lets you enter some very simple MailChimp info (apikey, list name, fields to sync) in a config file, write a little “glue” code, then just run the sync program.

Download the .Net MailChimp sync module here.

but wait, there’s more!

Flash Email Signup Forms for MailChimp

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Christian Cox has created a nice tutorial (and some sample code) for building a Flash email signup form that passes subscribers to your MailChimp list. He used the MailChimp API to create some ActionScript for you.

We’d seen some examples of Flash integration w/MailChimp before, but they usually required a little PHP know-how and lacked documentation.

So a HUGE thank you goes out to Christian for all this. If you’re building websites or web apps in Flash, and want seamless email marketing integration, be sure to check this out.
